Summer at Tyndale

Life on Tyndale Campus

Weekly Chapel Services

Be refreshed spiritually as well as academically. Join the whole Tyndale community on Wednesdays (switched from the usual Tuesdays for the Spring Summer semester) at 11:15 a.m. for our weekly chapel services. Rich music and a variety of speakers enhance this time of worship, inspiration and challenge.

Quiet Reflection/ Spiritual Direction

Take time to discern God's voice and presence in your life. Make use of the chapel or other private spaces. Sessions with a qualified spiritual director are also available for private, guided reflection, conversation and prayer.

The Community

Your fellow students and professors come from a wide range of Christian traditions, cultures and backgrounds. This is a great place to share ideas, make new friends and discover the amazing ways of God expressed in the lives of others.
